Commercial Bank extends sponsorship to 49th Annual Conference & Exhibition of Interarab Cambist Association

Doha, Qatar saw Commercial Bank extend its sponsorship to the 49th Annual Conference & Exhibition of the Interarab Cambist Association (ICA) in Cairo. During the event, Ghinwa Baradhi, Executive General Manager and Chief Operating Officer of the bank, took part in a panel discussion centered on the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in treasury, trading, and asset management.

The panel discussion explored how AI is transforming these sectors through enhanced liquidity management, market analysis, trading, and investment decision-making. Ghinwa stressed that successful AI adoption requires starting with a clear business problem rather than the technology itself. In the financial sector, where decisions are critical and time-sensitive, AI can improve analysis and decision-making, but human accountability must remain central.

Ghinwa also emphasized the importance of early exploration of emerging technologies, such as blockchain and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), to understand their potential, limitations, and risks. This approach allows financial institutions to prepare for future changes as technology and regulations evolve.

The sponsorship of the ICA conference by Commercial Bank highlights the bank's ongoing commitment to engaging with the regional financial community and exchanging practical insights on the technologies shaping the future of banking.
